So so neighborhood, run down, good bed

Staff was friendly and responsive. Room was not ready when we arrived. The hotel is conveniently located next to the train station however the neighborhood is “sketchy”. The facade of the hotel is in poor condition but the inside is clean. It states that the hotel is a 4 star but believe it is more off a 3 star experience in general. Breakfast was ok. The room was spacious and the bed comfortable

Very old hotel Staff need proper training, this is not hospitality. Very Expensive for the quality of service provided and the very old room. You can’t charge your electrical stuff like phones tablets etc unless you have Swiss type of plug when asked for adapter, given one that did not work, when taken to reception, they advised it is working no issue with it!!! When asked later for another one, i’ve been told all given to other customers! Receptionist then suggested i leave anything needs charging in reception if i want!! Not sure i’ve seen that even in the poorest of countries i visited. There is clear explanation by receptionist about anything, most question asked, answered vaguely. Staff feel this is a job to do get paid and go home. No proper training or proper customer service provided. Stayed twice in Geneva before in different hotels, much better service all around.
